When Wang Shu got the news about the old pawn and returned home, he no longer dared to walk openly from the main road as before. Now that he was over seventy years old, he was severely beaten by those bastards from the Song army and had to go to the underworld to see the King of Hell. Wang Shu changed Wearing civilian clothes and a headscarf, we took advantage of the darkness to find a path and circle around a long way before heading home.

It’s not that he, Wang Shu, is afraid of death, it’s because he still has a wife and children at home that he can’t let go of. His son Wang Chengyu is very smart, and he is better than the old! In the "Poem on the Gap in the Room" written when he was seven or eight years old, there is a line: "The wind blows and the beams ring, When the moon comes to my pillow and the light shines brightly, I wrote the book "Records of Study" when I was seventeen or eighteen years old, and when I was 20 years old, I wrote "Illustrated Explanations of Tai Chi Dynasty and Stillness". In the 22nd year of Chenghua, I passed the exam for returning to my hometown. Wang I believe that my son will have a bright future and will be able to serve as a minor minister in the cabinet with little talk.

Now that he is an official in the court, he can support a large family every month, and his son does not have to worry about the family's livelihood and can calm down and study. But if Wang Shu still insists on fighting with those of the Song Army like he did twenty years ago, The boy was in a head-to-head confrontation. If something unexpected happened tonight, his son would have to worry about the family's livelihood in advance, and his promising future would be ruined. Thinking of this, Wang Shu felt a lot of emotion and wrote a memorial overnight and handed it over to Zhu Youtang. This matter must be settled by the emperor.

Early the next morning, Zhu Youtang sat up from the dragon bed. Gong'e who was standing beside him quickly opened the bed curtain when the emperor woke up.

As the sun shone in, Zhu Youtang sighed: "It's another beautiful day!" Li Guang, the eunuch in charge of the Supervision and Supervision Department, hurriedly brought a cup of warm tea.

Zhu Youtang stretched, took the warm tea and took a sip silently, rinsed his mouth and spit it into the spittoon under the bed. Zhu Youtang looked at the flattering Li Guang and asked, "What's going on in the palace recently?"

Li Guang picked up the warm tea and said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang has become less talkative in the court recently. Even the food supervisor, Eunuch Zhang, is still talking nonsense."

I wonder, how did Eunuch Zhang offend Li Guang, a dog slave, and bite Shangshan Superintendent and not let go. "There is no one except him?" Zhu Youtang asked deliberately.

Li Guang rolled his eyes and pretended to think for a while and said: "Back to the emperor, there is no more at the moment."

Zhu You sneered: "You have done a good job in this matter. Don't hold on to Shang Shanjian all the time. Pay more attention to the people outside and don't let outsiders put their hands into your door."

The outsiders here naturally refer to the court officials. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, officials colluded. Many courtiers had their own eyes in the palace and knew the emperor's information at all times. Zhu Youtang could not let this happen. Otherwise, if I carry out such drastic reforms, I'm afraid there will be another palace mystery.

"My slave, I sincerely obey the teachings of Grandpa Huang."

Zhu Youtang had just put on his clothes when Huaien, the eunuch and eunuch in charge of etiquette, came in holding a stack of memorials.

After reading so many memorials, Zhu Youtang finally understood that it was not easy to be an emperor! He rubbed his waist and asked: "Is there anything important in it? Pick the important ones."

"Replying to your Majesty's words, there is a copy of Wang Shu's book in it."

Mentioning Wang Shu and Zhu Youtang immediately perked up. Wang Zongguan was much more reliable than those civil servants who claimed to be clean and honest. At least there was no nonsense in the memorial.

"Take out Wang Shu's, I'll look at his first!"

Zhu Youtang took Wang Shu's hand and took a look. Although there were not many words, the meaning was very clear. Someone wants to kill me. Your Majesty, you can do whatever you want!

The emperor's premeditated murder of the emperor's specially appointed ministers is too rampant! Zhu Youtang was furious, slammed the memorial on the table and shouted: "Let the Jin Yiwei Wan pass come to see me!"

Zhu Youtang has not been heard from since the last time Wantong handled the case in Lizi Province. Then came the fall of Wan An, the chief minister of the cabinet, and his old Wan family lost another "pillar".

When Wan An left Beijing, he specially sent a message to Wantong saying that he wanted to see him. Wan Tong did not dare to go because he was afraid that others would label him as a party member of Wan An. After all, he had been the chief minister of the cabinet for ten years, and he still I can save my life, but I am just a commander of the Jin Yiwei Palm Seal. If not, I might lose my head!

When he learned that Zhu Youtang had summoned him, Wantong was surprised and happy, and rushed to Qianqing Palace without stopping.

"Commander of the Jinyi Guards, Commander Wantong, respectfully wishes His Majesty's peace."

"I'm sorry, please get up and sit down."

Zhu Youtang looked at Wantong up and down and said: "It seems that the oil and water in Li Zi Province cut a lot last time and fattened you up!"

Wantong was shocked when he heard this. He quickly stood up and knelt down, but was stopped by Zhu Youtang, saying, "There is no need to apologize. I summoned you this time for something. If you settle the old debt, you will write it off. Why don't you do it?" Well, there is no need to plead guilty, just buy a coffin and prepare for the funeral."

As soon as Zhu Youtang said this, Wantong shivered in fear and asked, "I wonder what your Majesty asked me to do?"

"I have recently asked Governor Wang Shu to disarm the capital camp, but some uneasy and well-intentioned people dare to touch my people. You can send some smart and skilled people to protect Wang Shu until the disarmament of the capital camp is completed. During this period, if he If you lose even a little bit, you don’t have to do it!”

Wantong immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "I will obey the imperial edict and will protect Mr. Wang well."

"Do you have a man named Mou Bin under your command? Let him come to see me!"

Wantong looked puzzled. Mou Bin was just a member of the Imperial Guard. How did His Majesty know that? Although Wantong had doubts in his mind, he still nodded and said: "Yes, I will let Mou Bin enter the palace now."

"You go down first!" Wan Tong retreated, and Zhu Youtang continued to review the memorials. Among them, Wu Ying's memorials gave him a headache. The collection of commercial taxes by shops in the capital was not going well this month. Some shops were owned by royal family members. It was even more difficult to get a penny. It was especially difficult to close the account of his brother-in-law Zhang Heling's shop. Zhu Youtang's consciousness told him that the perpetrator Wang Shu was also inseparable from his brother-in-law Zhang Heling. It seemed that he had to Meet him in person!

Thinking about it, I have traveled through time and stayed in the palace. I haven’t seen the outside world yet. It’s time for me to go out and relax!

Think about the fact that Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of the ages, was still on tour. The old man Yongle was feeling stuffy in the palace and led an army of 500,000 people to go around the grassland for a walk. Emperor Kangxi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty frequently paid private visits incognito, and Emperor Qianlong made six tours to the south of the Yangtze River. That Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake was fascinated by Emperor Qianlong after waiting all his life. He had to admit that some emperors left the palace purely for the convenience of picking up girls. I was tired of seeing the three thousand beauties in the harem, and sometimes I wanted to go out to pick wild flowers. After all, Home flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers!

Thinking of this, Zhu Youtang ordered the palace maid to disguise herself, and sneaked out of the palace with Mou Bin, several guards and the young eunuch Li Guang.

———————————————

There is an east alley in the capital. The entrance to this alley is very prosperous because there is a brothel at the entrance. How can a brothel in the capital be any worse? There are many famous prostitutes in the brothel. They have secretly learned Taoist intercourse skills and are very powerful.

The consumption is naturally very high, and most of the regular customers here are the children of officials, especially the major shareholder Zhang Heling, who is the number one guest in this brothel.

Oops, I haven't seen Mr. Zhang for a long time. I miss you so much, old slave. What have you been doing these days?" An old madam from a brothel led two prostitutes out to greet him.

Zhang Heling said coldly: "Are there any new talents recently?

The old bustard smiled and said: "Hey, we have sent people to look for people. It is estimated that new people will join the building at the end of the month. Are you satisfied with the "Peony" last time? She has learned a few new tricks recently. Why don't you try it?

try?"

Zhang Heling glanced at him, and the two guards behind him immediately understood and hugged the old bustard with a smile. The two prostitutes left behind him. Zhang Heling was left alone to follow the old bustard straight upstairs. This brothel was not large in scale at first.

When the alley was run, it often lost money. Later, Zhang Heling led 30 oirans to join the business, and the number of customers gradually increased. After that, the officials often secretly invested in repairs. For example, the first assistant Liu Ji was also a major shareholder, and it only reached today's scale.

Although Zhang Heling went upstairs alone with the madam, there was a pair of eyes watching everything. Zhang Heling stopped as soon as he went upstairs. There was a graceful beauty standing in the corridor on the second floor. The madam was a little surprised when he saw this and asked:

"Who is the girl?

The beauty looked back and didn't answer.

Zhang Heling looked at the beauty and then at the old madam and said angrily: "What a courageous slave. There is such a beauty in the building but you didn't lie to me. Why is the money I usually give you less? Or you don't give me face at all."

"

These words only frightened the old madam. She hurriedly pushed the beauty forward and whispered: "Miss, are you brought by Mr. Liu? Then you will be lucky. The person in front of you is the head of the country.

Young Master, if you serve him well, you will have a lifetime of glory and wealth!"

The beauty said calmly: "I don't accept guests."

These words made Zhang Heling burst out laughing. Zhang Heling took out two ingots of gold from his sleeves and threw them on the ground. He said with a smile: "Why are you pretending to be innocent? I'll give you these two ingots of gold. If you serve me well in bed, you can do it again."

I’ll give you two ingots of gold.”

Unexpectedly, the beauty just rolled her eyes and turned back to the house. The old madam hurriedly stepped forward to grab Zhang Heling and said with a wry smile: "Young master, go to the peony room first, and wait for me to persuade her and ask her to come to the young master's room obediently."

"Go away." Zhang Heling kicked the old bustard over, followed the beauty into the house and said in a deep voice: "I have seen you right today. If you obey me, I will guarantee that you will be prosperous and wealthy for the rest of your life. If you don't obey, don't blame me, the overlord."

Lift up your bow!"

The beauty panicked: "What are you going to do? This is the capital, do you still have the king's law in your eyes? I am the chief minister!"

Zhang Heling spat out and said disdainfully: "So what about Liu Ji's woman? As long as I see it right, he won't dare not give it to me!"

Zhang Heling stepped closer to the beauty and said with a lewd smile: "I like women like you who resist, and here I am Wang Fa!"

The beauty's clothes were torn bit by bit by Zhang Heling, and the sound of women's wailing and Zhang Heling's lewd laughter could be heard in the house.
